Artwork Description

RIVER DIVINATION

18.0 x 24.0 inches

The first of the River Divination series that evolved from personal experience and in preparation for the Mississippi River Stories exhibit at the Mississippi River Watershed Management Organization in partnership with St. Thomas University and the Natural Heritage Project in 2022. When I witnessed the river on a warm October day, the light from the maples and the river made everything feel otherworldly. There wasn’t a trace of human activity, except for a wet paw print from a passing dog and a rusty bolt from a boat long gone. The arrangments of organic objects become the divination “we have stories to tell.” Framed size: 36 x 30.5 inches.
